Rapid Creek Cidery

Rapid Creek Cidery is a restaurant, full bar and event center in a restored century-old barn, serving seasonal food from local and carefully sourced ingredients alongside house-made ciders. The menu changes often and is built around a curated pantry, with brunch on Sundays and dinner Wednesday through Saturday.

The ciders are made in small batches from apples grown at the adjoining Wilson's Orchard, which has over 100 apple varieties, and the bar also pours some international and hard-to-find bottles. The restaurant sits on the orchard property in Iowa City, and the lower-level event space seats up to 250 guests for weddings, corporate events and private parties, with catering handled by the kitchen. Reservations are taken online.
